Seven Letter’s contract with Japan began Aug 1 and runs through February and the agency receives a $40K monthly retainer, along with a $200K budget for four two-week digital ad campaigns, says O’Dwyer’s.

[**Addis Communications**](https://addispr.com/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com) **reports it has joined with the Pandemic Action Network, CDC Foundation and partners** in support of World Mask Week, August 7-14, 2020\. According to the agency, community masking “is critical to stop the spread of COVID-19\. Until we have vaccines or medicines to fight COVID-19, mask wearing is one of the best tools we have ― particularly when paired with social distancing, handwashing, testing, and tracing.” **Karen Addis,** APR, agency president, told Capitol Communicator her agency is supporting World Mask Week by pushing out daily posts highlighting what people can do to stop the pandemic.

**This weekend marks the 20th anniversary for** [**Qorvis Communications.**](https://www.qorvis.com/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com) “I’m both thrilled and humbled that what started in a townhouse in Alexandria quickly turned in to a global communications agency and is now celebrating its 20th year in business,” said **Michael Petruzzello,** president of Qorvis Communications**.**
